i'm ready

hey you guys, tomorrow is spring!

christmas in july in august

took a lovely drive up to the mountains to visit my dearest frances, who invited me to spend the weekend with her and her fam to celebrate the highly anticipated 'christmas in july in august'. we enjoyed the whole shebang; a roast dinner, a montage of elvis and bing singing christmas songs on the turntable, sipping that scrummy spiced mead, boiling the pudding and wearing nanna's home made festive felt crowns.

there's nothing like the crisp mountain air, a log fire, silly presents under the christmas branch, and snagging the good beds before they are all claimed by reletives. oh, and a questionable game of badminton in the backyard. if only i'd remembered to buy film!

springtime

winter has been long, but not altogether unpleasant..







but now i'm ready for spring, and i think my garden agrees..

of earth and sky

last night jes and i planned a girlie evening of culture and fun for nat's birthday present thursday.

after a scrummy stop at wagamama we took our favourite girl to see bangarra's new of earth and sky.

talk about a show! started off slowly but picked up in the second half and really blew me away.. definately a good way to spend a thursday evening; good food, good company, and sexy boys jumping around in their skintights. an all-round success!

polkadot morning

a quiet kind of frantic

haven't written anything in a little while, so this will mean a sudden bombardment of mixed up junk. or maybe i will sum everything up with some photos.

never let me go

is anyone else as excited for this as i am?

if you haven't read the book by now then you need to, post haste!
